Table of Contents tab problem

[Duncan W]

Hi,

I am a long time user of Indesign and am trialling Publisher as a more cost effective alternative. Mostly I have been able to get things to work adequately or work around it to make it work. The following is a problem I am having trouble solving, and although I can work around it as well, it is time consuming.

My document has two levels of styles I am using for the TOC.

Eg.

1. Level 1,

1.1. Level 2

1.2 Level 2

2. Level 1

2.1 Level 2

In the styles I have Bullets and Numbering Text set to "\#.»"so there is a number, a dot and then a tab.

The next level is much the same - \1.\#.»

When I create my TOC and included leader lines and page numbers, I get two leader lines. One between 1. and the title and another between the title and the page number.

Workaround 1 - I changed my style to remove the tab and that solved the first tab issue, but there is no spacing and it looks awful.

Workaround 2 - Editing the TOC after each time it is refreshed.

Workaround 3 - Use two TOCs overlaid on each other. One with just the section numbers and another with just the title and page number. This is to make it so all the titles are in line.

Is there a way to make Publisher ignore the tab used in the text style? You can't change the bullets and numbering setting in the TOC style.
